beauty submerged

A friend recently asked me to photograph her moonstones. As I wrapped up my photo shoot, I decided to submerge one of the stones in a glass of tap water. That’s all that is … a rock beneath water.
honeysuckle abstractions

As a child I remember a wire fence separating our house and yard from that of the neighbor’s. Along this fence twined the milkweed vines so thick that we were sometimes a stop for errant monarch butterflies. And there entwined amidst these sturdy vines were the delicate strands of the honeysuckle.
A friend taught me how to harvest the nectar. Quite tasty though I did wonder how long would it take to fill a glass or even just a thimble.
Sometimes I’d attempt to braid the vines to make tiny crowns for my dolls’ heads (because my brothers would not deign to wear them). The flowers adorned play dough cakes and moist mud pies. With hindsight, I wish that I had placed them upon the dark red mulberries that I once handed to my dad on a tea set plate.
Just some of the thoughts that came to mind as I recently stood next to a wall of honeysuckle.

On a gray, wet day, I chose to shoot the primrose leaf in black and white. Its veins remind me of trees and rivers, all branching. I’ve never grown primrose before. Its leaves are doing well, quite well, but no new blooms. We’ll see …
So what happens when …

… you place a slice of red onion, a slice of red tomato and a bit of creamy white garlic on a gold clay saucer and then wrap that saucer with some clear plastic? Simply leftovers from a late lunch. Well, depending on the right light pouring through a window, sometimes I think you get magic. 😉
and then even that color fades away leaving beauty
